GREEKS HAD FORM OF TENNIS That the Game Is an Old One Is Sure, but Its Origin Is Hard to Trace. Discussion of possible changes in the terminology of tennis naturally In cludes the nnmo itself; nnd here there are many possible origins. Tho game, In ono form or nnother, Is very old. Tho Greeks knocked a bnll back and forth and cnlled the exercise "phen nls," for which the Roman nume was "tenlludlura." "Phennis" nnd "tenl ludlum" wero ancestors probably of tho slmllnr French sport in tho middle ages, and modern tennis may, for that matter, have been nnmed from the province of Tennols, where this game was exceedingly popular. Possibly, but improbably, the name is derived from tho French "tenez," in tho senso of "get ready." "Douce" is genernlly accepted ub another form of tho French "deur," but "racquets" has several possible sources, tho most likely perhaps being tho old medie val word "rachette," meaning the palm of tho hand, when tho gnmo was played llko modern handball. Chaucer nnd Shakespeare both knew tho ganio in England, and, whethor or ot thoy played it, had doubtless looked on with satisfaction, nB did Queen Elizabeth.
